Rage Against the Machine - Took their fair share

Los
Angeles, California is the base of the hard rock and funk metal band Rage
Against the Machine.

To find a name the band is said to have taken their fair
share of the Manifesto of the Communist Party (Communist Manifesto), written in
1847 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

That manifest mentions machines and
machinery in several places, sometimes with a literal meaning, sometimes in a
metaphorical sense as well: in that case 'machine' must be understood as 'government'
or 'employer'.

‘At first the contest is carried on by individual labourers,
then by the workpeople of a factory, then by the operative of one trade, in one
locality, against the individual bourgeois who directly exploits them. They
direct their attacks not against the bourgeois conditions of production, but
against the instruments of production themselves; they destroy imported wares
that compete with their labour, they smash to pieces machinery, they set
factories ablaze, they seek to restore by force the vanished status of the
workman of the Middle Ages.’
